Yes, too close to midnight...the fields were all about to turn into pumpkin patches, and the umpires back into mice. :D

note: ASA went to AA's and was going to hand them the championship for being in the winners bracket and due to time constraints for fields time, or offered a one game winner take all. AA's played the game.




Was not a time constraint. Coaches choice to play winner take all.

I looked at the bracket on the ASA website and it clearly shows the tournament would be a double elimination tournament. So there must have been a reason they changed it mid-tournament.

You are correct about the double elimination.

The coaches of the 2 teams were given a choice before Championship Game to play the "if" game. The coaches choice was to play only 1 game, winner take all.

Couldn't have been a time constraint, the 16U Championship game on the field next to them started about the 6 or 7th inning of the 14U game.

That is not the case.... The coaches were told they could not play the "if necessary" game. It would be AA declared Champions or if they decided to play the Championship game it would be "winner take all". ASA would not let them play the "if necessary".

ASA changed the tournament format at noon on Sunday.
